- 1Multi-store memory model
- 2Working memory model
- 3Clive Wearing and HM-evaluation pointsdamaged hippocampus however they could still use some parts of the brain yet some were lost shows that there are more than just one part to the brain and they are located in different areas supporting the multi-store model although they also show that there are different stores within the long term memories such as that Clive Wearing could remember how to play the piano but couldn't remember his wedding showing the semantic, episodic and procedural memories.
- 4Clive Wearing case studyContracted herpes (cold sore) which damaged his hippocampus and surrounding areas. He retained the ability to play the piano or conduct a choir (procedural). Suffers from retrograde amnesia (failing to recall memories before trauma).memory span decreased unable to make new long term memories making every moment new to him. He kept a journal giving us an insight to the trauma showing how he feels as though he has just woke up every second.
- 5HMHad part of his hippocampus removed to cure his epilepsy and his not able to make new memories because hippocampus was damaged which the researchers determined that it was vital in making new memories. Also lost some memories from previous years.
- 6Procedural memoryProcedural memory is a part of the long-term memory that is responsible for knowing how to do things, also known as motor skills. As the name implies, procedural memory stores information on how to perform certain procedures, such as walking, talking and riding a bike. Delving into something in your procedural memory does not involve conscious thought
- 7Episodic memoryEpisodic memory is the type of long-term, declarative memory in which we store memories of personal experiences that are tied to particular times and places. For example, if you are having a conversation with a friend and you tell your friend, "last night I went to a 9:00 movie..." .This type of memory is often what comprises eye-witness testimony and is especially susceptible to subsequent events like questioning, reading the newspaper, talking to others about the event also involving leading questions
- 8Semantic memorySemantic memory refers to a portion of long-term memory that processes ideas and concepts that are not drawn from personal experience. Semantic memory includes things that are common knowledge, such as the names of colours, the sounds of letters, the capitals of countries and other basic facts acquired over a lifetime.
